About this book

Cat and dog friends Nell and Beany love fishing. But what will they catch? Can you push and pull the sliders to help them on their fishing trip? 

This is a fabulous board book to share. Baby book expert Camilla Reid is fantastic at writing a story in only four spreads, and in rhyme too! Not only is it easy and satisfying to read aloud, but it has a proper beginning, middle and end. And children and adults alike will adore poring over the gorgeous illustrations by Kate Hindley. There is so much to spot on every page.

Not forgetting the interactive elements - pulling a slider, turning a wheel, and so on - which are lots of fun for a young child to get involved with, plus they can develop their fine motor skills too. This is the first book in a series starring Nell and Beany and we can't wait to see the next ones!
